Points to Ponder While Filing a Revised TDS Return

Online changes can be done only in the PAN and challan. For any other revision in the return, one needs to make changes through TIN-FC.
Only those TDS returns can be revised, the statements for which is issued after the fiscal year 2007-08.
For the online rectification in the TDS return, a taxpayer must be registered on the online portal i.e. TRACES.
Only those altered statements are considered valid which have been approved or accepted by the TIN central system.
The changes made in the TDS return statement should be given many times to reflect the changes in the regular TDS report. However, the TIN Central system accepts a regular statement only once.
User must ensure that the updated changes or corrections are in harmony with the acceptable alterations in the TDS report.
The record, disallowed earlier should be mentioned clearly by the user.

Partly Accepted Statements

When the status of the rectified statements is displayed as “Partially Accepted’, the user must do the following:

Ensure that the rectifications w.r.t the accepted records in the TDS report are duly updated.
Ensure that the correct PAN is updated in his statement because incorrect PAN details lead to rejection of remuneration.
